Layr, an insurtech company achieves 5x productivity and 3x efficiency in application modernization with AWS Serverless in just 18 months

AntStack’s serverless solution is designed with scalability and flexibility in mind to handle the ambitious goals of Layr. With the new platform, Layr aims to achieve a 5x improvement in productivity within 18 months of launch.

The new platform developed by AntStack surpassed Layr’s previous platform in terms of security, effectively mitigating the security vulnerabilities that plagued their previous system. This achievement can be attributed to two crucial aspects: infrastructure and code security. AntStack’s certified architects meticulously selected and configured a highly secure infrastructure, while the AntStack and Layr teams collaborated to implement various tools and checks to ensure the application’s security.

The application development was driven by an exceptional engineering process using cutting-edge methodologies and practices. This approach delivered high-quality code within the scheduled timeline by enforcing adherence to best engineering principles. Incorporating top-tier tools and standards into the development workflow contributed to the current success of the project and laid the groundwork for predictable and efficient future planning. This meticulous process underscores a commitment to quality, maintainability, and continuous improvement, which is essential for ongoing growth and innovation.

AntStack’s serverless solution provided Layr with a streamlined method to access various services, substantially minimizing barriers and opening doors to numerous new market possibilities. This innovative approach uniquely positions Layr as a frontrunner in integration, reflecting a forward-thinking strategy emphasizing agility, scalability, and adaptability. By leveraging modern methods, Layr can respond more effectively to market demands and confidently pursue opportunities.

Streamlined Infrastructure Management with Infrastructure as Code (IaaC): AntStack was pivotal in facilitating Layr’s transition from manual configurations to Infrastructure as Code (IaaC). This shift eliminated the potential for human error and significantly improved the efficiency of their infrastructure management. Almost every AWS service deployment, including the CI/CD pipelines, was seamlessly orchestrated using carefully crafted IaaC templates. This approach ensures consistency, scalability, and ease of management for Layr’s infrastructure operations.

Layr operates within a highly regulated market where SOC 2 compliance is essential to differentiate itself from competitors. Thanks to AntStack’s serverless solution, the new application achieved SOC 2 compliance at an impressive pace, ten times faster than their previous legacy platform. This accelerated compliance demonstrates Layr’s commitment to meeting industry standards and gives them a competitive edge in the market.
